Angels And Airwaves - Epic Holiday

these two intro riffs eventually overlap each other , so if you are playing
by yourself you just have to decide when you want to switch to the other
one . riff one is played at the start and by time it has been played two
times the riff two starts building up in sound until it overpowers the
first riff .

intro ( riff 1 ) :
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | x2
A – 2~~~2s4~~~4s6~~~6s7 – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

figure out the strum pattern on this by listening to it . in between each set
of slides and the first chord you strum and scratch the chord to the
beat/rhythm/song .

intro ( riff 2 ) :
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G – 4 – – – 4s6 – – – 6s8 – – – 8s9 – – – – – – – |
D – x – – – xxx – – – xxx – – – xxx – – – – – – – | x2
A – 2 – – – 2s4 – – – 4s6 – – – 6s7 – – – – – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

just use power chords so that C#m is really just C# – sounds the best . the
only thing i’m pretty uncertain on is the G#m chord , i think it could be
played as an D#/D# , just fyi .

verse 1 :
B
and the brightest sign
C#m
is full of holes
G#m E
is full of pain , loss , violent criminals
B
with a little fate
C#m
and the worst of lies
G#m
with a love so deep
E B
it’s warm with endless fire inside
go right back to the line

( intro )

B
every single day
C#m
every nine to five
G#m
every body works it hard
E
and then we finally die
B
and there’s no remorse
C#m
or the slightest sound
G#m E
we’re forever cool with the way it all breaks up and down

B
let’s start a riot!
C#m
nobody’s right
G#m
nobody’s wrong
E
life’s just a game
B
it’s just one epic holiday
C#m
however this
G#m
takes us along
E
take us away
it’s just one epic holiday

( intro riff 2 x2 )

B
on the sunday rain
C#m
like a lonely ghost
G#m E
and the furthest point from here is right outside the door
B
open up your eyes
C#m
take a breath at will
G#m E
and the sun is still alive even though it’s hard to tell

( chorus x2 )

B
nobody’s right
C#m
nobody’s wrong
( play intro riff 2 x4 )
let’s start a riot!

( chorus ) and end on B
